Fish Commissioner Elwood r. Norny,
by authority Of Governor Biggs, has ad-
dressed an official letter to Governor
Green of New Jersey, in which he recites
that Governor Stoekley of this State, and
Governor Albeit, of New jersey, held a
conference in Philadelphia in June, 1885
by which they agreed that the fishermen
of the two states should mutually fish the
the ships channel of the bay and
that the New Jersey fishermen
should be notified not to fish westward
of the channel as buoyed by the Govern
ment. Fish Commissioner korny says
he has well authenticated proof that both
this agreement, and the laws of this State
are being violated by the fishermen from
Bay Side, New Jersey, and in the interest
of harmony and that good will that should
exist between the people of two sister
states, this letter has been sent hoping

The Peaeh oenrenslon.

The plan for the better distribution of
the peach crop formulated by J. P. R.
Polk, Esq, of this city met the approval
Of the big convention held at Dover yes
terday. Its provisions will be found in
our local columns. It contemplates the
differentiation Of the Individual Judgment
of the hundreds of growers, who have
neither the time nor facilities for keeping
personally informed respecting the wants
and capacities of different markets,
TO the judgment and authority
OF one competent distributor whose
sole business it shall be TO keep
himself in constant telegraphic communi-
cation with both markets and shippers
and to sec that each city and town within
reach gets its fair share of the crop or
more strictly that no market shall be
: overloaded. It is evident that this duty
will require for its satisfactory perform
anee first class man and will keep him
rushed all through the season, and that
the efficiency of this Capitalization of
Distribution must be just in proportion
to the energy, application and qualihca-
tions of this officer or agent.
At the same time it was very clearly
the sense of the meeting that the most
important end TO be kept steadily in visw
IL notS-e 1Jstribution of the crop by Tie
growers, whether acting for themselves
or through central head, but the expan
sion of the exchange or home market sys-
tenn SO as to bring the buyers to the
growers. The projected bureau of infor-
nation and distribution is to be made an
adjunct, not competitor, of the
Delaware Fruit Exchange. The growers
very naturally and properly aim at such a
system OF specialization as shall relieve
them in the greatest degree of care and
responsibility for the transportation Of
their fruit and enable them to concentrate
all their attention and energy upon tn,
production, gathering, sorting ant
delivery Of the same at the most con
venient railway station.
There was sagaoious disposition OF
the part of considerable minority, pos
sibiy indeed majority of the convention
to subordinate the empty basket ques
ton, over which so much pother ha
been raised, to the more important mat
ter Of handling the crop in its entirety t,
the best advantage, and, with the cos
of baskets down TO four o
five cents, there is eyidentl
growing disposition to make practica
test of the soundness of the position Sc
forth by the president of tho New Yorl
Mercantile Exchange that they should q
with the fruit, not as free gift but a
making the fruit worth enough more I
the average consumer to make up for th
cost of the basket.

Under Pennsylvania new liquor

A cifcuh visited Ohessertown, Md, on
Monday, and the customary f-knavish
and wholly foolish responsible citizen
turned up and was done for Of course.
He permitted himaelf to be inveigled into
q little game in side show, where he
WIS duly stuffed with the notion that he
could beat the side-show man Of his own
game. Being none too honest to swallow
the bait, the Ohestertown man went to
the hank and drew out $500, which, with
some pocket money, was forthwith stolen
by the side-show gambler and his.confed-
crate. So far all was regular enough and
according to the tactics for fleeing
natural-born fools, but the sequel, as re-
lated by the Ohestertown Transcript, in-
PRODUCES the reader to variation aud TO
new wrinkle in Maryland jurisprudence.
Here it Ia;
When the matter was laid before States
| Attorney Smith he directed that the putt
/ llshed proprietor OF the show. J. H. Rice,
/ DO arrested. Rice was accordingly arrested
| and taken before hsquitb Johnson. he
/ protested that he knew. nothing OF the
matter. He said thar he had no manner Vi
/ connection with the confluence men, and
| he did NOT believe that he could be held fol
| what they had done. He was shown the
| Maryland law, however, that makes the
i proprietor OF show responsible for all
inisdemeanOrs taking place beneath his
i canvas. He protested that he had not thai
amount OF money, but said that he wnuld
| give up all that he had taken in OF the
| ticket wagon during the afternoon, $275. Thu
\ was declined, and before the commitment
i to jail was finally made out the total amour
| which the Chestertown citizen lost--S5l7-
| was restored. 1t is said that the bills wels

| There were three 500 bills, and the othe
bills coineided with the lost money. Whel

money he withdrew his complaint, and Rie

Professor Riley OF the department of
agriculture, appeals to farmers to spare
the screech-owli because Of its meri-
torious habit of feasting on the web
caterpillsrs so destructive to the foliage
of fruit and other trees. He also pleads
in behalf Of the owl that it is doing good
service in thinning out the omnipresent
English sparrow. These birds, he says,
will find in this owl as bold an enemy as
the sparrow hawk is to them in Europe,
snd one even more dangerous since ita
attacks are made towards dusk when the
sparrow is not as wide awake for ways
and means to escape.
